Dignified:       The World card is the last of the major arcana and likewise brings a close to the paths that were previously chosen.  It represents the completion of a cycle and acknowledgement of the wisdom gained from our total experience.  The World represents the celebration of a long and insightful life, one full of love and despair.  The experiences of the physical are now entwined in the spirit binding us together with both God and Goddess and our true selves.  The World also represents the wonder and beauty of seeing who we truly are and how important our spirit really is in the larger scheme of things.  When the World makes itself known in the tarot deck you can be completely sure that true self-awareness and love of Life has been found.  The World encompasses peace, perfection, love, honor, and grace.  Everything that we have strived to accomplish now comes into being.  We become one with the self and with the All-Life.

Ill-Dignified:     In a reversed position the World represents incompletion, stagnation, and the refusal to move forward from one phase of understanding to another.  It also signifies fear, depression, or low self-worth.
